From someone that drinks far too much, a very well done.
Excellent stuff well done.
Awesome update.
After reading the op to refresh my memory, I skipped to the back page REALLY hoping it wasn’t posted from a bedsit having been hoofed out of the family home 😳
Nice work, and keep it up 👍
Well done dude! I did 3 months straight dry last year, and a few single months this year. The 3 month break was enough to change my habits so I've since been much more mindful about the booze, which makes binges rare these days - the hangovers aren't worth it!
Very well done fella and thanks for the update. is everything ok with the wife and kids now?
Awesome. I'm similar. I can have a few drink in the house (although that becomes quite habitual too). But once I'm in the pub, come 2am I'll be dragging people into nightclubs. I envy those who can actually go out and have just a few drinks and be in bed by 11. So I very rarely go out. Much prefer to be feeling fresh in the morning and doing some good weekend activities.
Ask a medic to explain about the damage binge drinking does to the liver. My best buddy at Uni was a binge drinker, he couldn't go to the pub or a rugby match without getting slaughtered and he died of liver failure at the age of 41 leaving a young son and new wife. I miss him very badly.
Thanks for the report back!
Well donne!
I binge drank whenever possible for 30+ yrs ..initially for recreational purposes then self medicating for depression and anxiety .Eventually after losing my parents and all interest in life I stepped up a gear and ended up having an emergency admission to hospital 21 months ago where I was detoxed. I would have been left to die if it wasn't for the fact my brother is a doctor and using contacts got me taken in ..it's not what they normally do these days apparently ..you are supposed to carry on drinking and wait months for treatment ( something that i was too ill to do ..my blood was in a mess due to consuming up to 25 pints of stella a day or copious amounts of whatever incl spirits. I have remained drink free ever since , lost 25kg , got fit and no longer have any urges. Very lucky really ..on this journey I met several who have died with a far smaller intake. Nip it in the bud now would be my advice or face the likelihood of an unhappy and or short life not forgetting the negative effects it is already having on your family which will only get worse. Good luck.
oh ..just seen you have had success ..well done and keep it up!
